Narrated by Darcy Stark I hadn’t read or listened to anything by Meghan Maslow before I picked up Demon for the Win is billed as book 1.5 in the series, but it’s actually set before the events of In Fair Verona, the short prequel to Must Love Demons. Its placement doesn’t really matter as it’s…
Narrated by Greg Boudreaux Note: This is a same-couple series with an overarching plot that means a) it’s a good idea to have read/listened to what has gone before and b) there are spoilers in this review. In Heir of Autumn, book three in Nazri Noor’s Wild Hearts m/m fantasy series, we find our heroes…
This sequel to Zen Cho’s Sorcerer to the Crown is satisfactory, but didn’t win me over in the same way as its predecessor. Muna wakes up on a beach in Janda Baik, a fictional island near Indonesia, with no memory of how she and her sister Sakti came to be there, or of the curse…
A Witch’s Guide to Fake Dating a Demon is unique, funny and romantic, with solid world-building and a lot of great banter. Mariel Spark was meant to be a witch. A powerful and great witch, one of the most fearsome in a dozen generations of Sparks witches, or so the prophecies say. Her mother puts…
Narrated by Greg Boudreaux Lord of Leaves, book two in Nazri Noor’s Wild Hearts series of fantasy romances, picks up about a week after the end of Prince of Flowers, and, like its predecessor, is a fun, inventive and light-hearted adventure romp through the magical worlds of the Black Market, the Wispwood and the Verdance…
Not Your Ex’s Hexes is light romantic fantasy to the extreme. That doesn’t mean it’s bad, and although it’s cheesy, it’s mostly the good kind of cheesy, and provides a fun ride. Rose Maxwell is one of the Magic Triad, triplet sisters who are (mostly – oldest sister Violet, heroine of Not the Witch You…
The Wandering Prince is the final book in the trilogy of fantasy romances featuring Jack Straw and Sebastian Beau, who have risked life and limb to rescue princes, track down mysterious artefacts and battle legendary beasts while bickering their way into love in the world of the 13 Kingdoms. These stories are entertaining and light-hearted…
An undertaker and a zombie hunter in a steampunk/western fantasy realm is probably the least expected way to adapt The Shop Around The Corner (which is more famous in another adaptation, You’ve Got Mail). At times, the story forces itself to adhere too closely to the source material, and these stretches are unfortunately predictable. However,…
The Dark King, Gina Maxwell’s urban fantasy romance, invokes the rockstar Meatloaf‘s immortal words: “Two out of three ain’t bad.” The novel has a delicious love story, satisfying plot, and skimpy world-building. Given that this is fantasy – in this imaginary world, the Dark Fae rule Las Vegas – a fictional world with a gossamer…
Narrated by Amanda Leigh Cobb, Graham Halstead and Nicholas Boulton I love audiobooks that use different narrators for different characters who have their own points-of-view within the story. Not only does it help differentiate whose head we might be in at any given time, but it really helps me flesh out the characters. The three…
